Interview: Lalo Schifrin
I'm very excited to share with you my recent interview with composer LALO SCHIFRIN. I was able to ask him about his recent book, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: MY LIFE IN MUSIC, his thoughts on the current state of film music, and what continues to drive him into new areas of composing (video games and graphic novels). He also shares about why he started Aleph Records and who he is pulling for to win the Oscar for Best Original Score.
Interview: Joris de Man
For our most recent Gametime 2009 update, we give you our review of the original score for KILLZONE 2. The mega-hit sequel to the game Killzone has sold upwards of 1.5 million copies and Sony's eventual release of JORIS DE MAN's original score for this sequel has been eagerly awaited for months. While word remains that the iTunes release is imminent, we bring our full review of the promotional tracks right now...including three streaming clips from this powerful score.
